The statistics show that 4419 cars were distributed in 339 cities. If the Northwest apple crop susceptible to as wide a distribution in carlots for the reason that many towns are too small to consume a carload of peaches in a limited time before they would spoil, whereas a carload of ap- ples would keep sufficiently long to afford every small city a much longer period for consumption, which is suf- ficient evidence in itself to show that apples can be sold in carlots to much smaller cities than peaches.
